The film takes a reflective look at silent cinema’s portrayal of a love story set in a modern landscape. Based on the Grim Brothers 1812 German fairy tale the film depicts a wandering male vagabond and a parentally confined female trying to communicate their feelings from two different worlds. The male vagabond sleeps in forgotten buildings and wanders the city releasing red balloons into the sky setting them free from the confinement of the city. The confined female spends her days locked under parental monitoring forced to endlessly work on her education.
